• Brian Williams Apologizes for Perpetuating False Story of RPG-Related Crash

    Oh, boy -- NBC News's Brian Williams has really gotten himself in deep. Over the last 10 years, the veteran journalist and news anchor has been telling a story about how he was on board a chopper that was brought down by a grenade at the beginning of the war in Iraq. After a recent "NBC Nightly News" segment featured the story again, those aboard the chopper that went down spoke up, insisting that Williams was never with them -- in fact, he arrived an hour after their crash, asking for details on what had happened. The anchor had apologized for perpetuating the false story of an RPG-related crash, so will he be fired?
  • Apollo Nida Admits He Lied About Kenya Moore's Sexual Advances on 'RHOA'

    We are not quite sure what to make of Apollo Nida's deciding to admit on camera to telling a pack of lies to the entire cast of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" for the past few years. He has insisted for the last two seasons that Kenya Moore had been sexting him, basically offering her services — something Nida claimed to shoot down because he loved his wife, Phaedra Parks. In last night's Nov. 16 episode, Nida offered an apology to Moore for lying about her, and when confronted by the rest of the cast he admitted that every sexual advance he claimed she made was a lie. Obviously, Moore has been vindicated after spending years dealing with non-stop hate from this crew thanks to Nida's lies, but why did he come clean now? Nida has claimed he wanted to make peace with people before he surrendered to prison officials back in September. But was this about him feeling guilty, or was it more like Nida decided to show everyone how dirty and vicious he is because he is going away for eight years anyway?
  • NBC Debates Whether to Fire Dr. Nancy Snyderman for Breaking Ebola Quarantine

    Up until recently, Dr. Nancy Snyderman was heralded as one of the top medical staffers employed by NBC. The network sent her to cover the Ebola virus in West Africa because viewers had come to trust her judgment, so it made sense for her to be one of the leaders when it came to educating NBC's audience. When Snyderman and her team returned, she claimed they were going to voluntarily quarantine themselves for 21 days just to be extra careful, said the "Hopewell Valley News." When Snyderman was spotted out grabbing take-out less than a week later in New Jersey, said the "Princeton Packet," the fallout was pretty explosive, and now weeks later the network's honchos are divided over whether or not to fire her for breaking her Ebola quarantine. At first NBC announced that Snyderman and her team would be given a few extra weeks off and return in November. Execs were hoping that a bit of time off would put distance between Snyderman and the scandal that had surrounded her.
